Centenary – Transport Arrangements

From The Sqn, more details on Wednesday:

The overall plan is to have 2 x 55 seat buses allowing us to split the number of hotels in half. Although full details can only be calculated once numbers confirmed, a round-robin pick up/drop off should take approximately one hour. Due to the magnitude of this task, I will restrict it to just 6 runs as follows (all times local):

• Pick up from hotels starting at 1700 and dropping off at Officers Mess at 1800 (Friday 21 Sep).

• Pick up from Officers Mess at 2300 and dropping off at hotels by 0000 (Friday 21 Sep).

• Pick up from hotels starting at 1200 and dropping off at the Moran Building at 1300 (Saturday 22 Sep).

• Pick up from Moran Building at 1600 and dropping off at hotels by 1700 (Saturday 22 Sep).

• Pick up from hotels starting at 1800 and dropping off at Officers Mess at 1900 (Saturday 22 Sep).

• Pick up from Officers Mess at 0015 and dropping off at hotels by 0115 (Saturday 22 Sep / early Sunday morning).

I will provide you with detailed pick-up/drop-off times for each hotel once I have the final attendance list.

Security: Members on MT coaches: Personnel on coaches will be checked against a list by the coach driver (plus an Officer on Friday) and allowed on without passes as escorted personnel. We are planning to issue passes/tickets on the coach.

Security: Self-drivers: Friday Meet & Greet: Self-drivers can park at the primary school car park opposite the Officers’ Mess (on the left as you drive towards RAF Valley) and walk 100m to the Mess – this is due to limited parking. The guard will have a full list of names and will let guests on without passes provided they appear on the list and have photo ID.

Security: Saturday Day Event: self-drivers will need to report to the Main Guard Room (MGR) and get car permits and individual passes. The MGR will have a list of names to confirm ID, and whilst these are being prepared they will contact IV Sqn to send an escort down. We will have a team of Officers on hand to “shuttle” guests between MGR and IV Sqn car park throughout the day.

Security: Self-drivers: Saturday Evening: Same as Friday M&G i.e. Self-drivers can park at the primary school car park opposite the Officers’ Mess (on the left as you drive towards RAF Valley) and walk 100m to the Mess – this is due to limited parking. The guard will have a full list of names and will let guests on without passes provided they appear on the list and have photo ID.
